The White House believes Russia does not intend to implement Minsk deals

The Russian Federation has a choice – either the West continues to impose sanctions, or Moscow fulfills its obligations before independent and democratic Ukraine, informed US Secretary of State John Kerry, reports “Holos Ameryky” (“America’s Voice”).

“Russia faces a clear choice between sanctions and fulfillment of obligations before independent and democratic Ukraine”, - Kerry wrote to the House of Representatives for Assignations.

The official stated that the USA are “deeply concerned” about the escalation of conflict in Donbas. Judging by OSCE reports most of ceasefire violations take place in militants-held territories, which means that militants do not fulfill their obligations according to Minsk deals.

John Kerry stated that the USA will increase funding for countering Russian aggression. Eralier administration of Barack Obama asked the Congress to allocate $3.4 billion to improve security in Europe.
